A suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with three separate assaults at three different SkyTrain stations – including one where a man was rendered unconscious.
Metro Vancouver Transit Police (MVTP) said in a release on Wednesday that the first incident occurred on April 9, at approximately 8 pm, when the suspect entered Surrey Central SkyTrain Station and allegedly, “purposely and without provocation, body-checked a SkyTrain Attendant working at the station.” Police said the victim described the incident as a “hockey check,” and although he was thrown off balance, he was able to regain his footing.
In the second incident, which occurred on April 14, at about 4:35 pm, the suspect followed the victim at Scott Road SkyTrain Station. “While the victim stood at the Compass Vending Machine, the suspect allegedly ran toward and violently body checked the unsuspecting victim so hard that he was thrown to the ground,” police said.
